To make your own cheap wristband to mop up sweat in the gym, just cut the cuff off a sock and slip it over your wrist.

If you’re used to hiking in hot climates, cover your frozen water bottle with a sock to keep it colder for longer.

If your car windows frequently fog up, put some kitty litter in a sock, tie it closed, and put it next to your front or rear window when it gets cold. The litter will help absorb the moisture before it even accumulates on your windows.

Putting jewelry in a single sock when you travel can help keep it in one place and give it some protection. The bonus is would-be thieves probably won’t go looking through your socks for valuables.

If you don’t have a heating pad, you can put regular (not instant) rice or dried beans in a sock and tie it shut before microwaving it for a minute. The result is a reusable heating pad for aching, sore muscles.

An orphaned sock works great in the kitchen, especially to slip over a pan handle to keep you from getting burned. The sock also keeps the handle from getting sticky – just wash it occasionally.

To keep the shape of boots and other tall shoes, fill two long socks with rolled-up newspapers or balled-up paper and stick them in the necks of the shoes.

If you’re moving a heavy piece of furniture, put a sock on its feet to prevent scratching your floor.
